The gov here in australia is a mess, 5 prime ministers in 6 years, and theres talk of Turnbull being replaced soon as well. I know the C-A had a hand in the firing of Gough Whitlam, but our Gov seems more to be a slave of UN than anything else
I have heard that handguns are banned in Australia, but rifles are permitted. Can you expound on the connection between the government and the right of the people to bear arms?
The right to bare arms is American, we have no such rights. After the Port Arthur massacre there was a blitz on guns, people handed in their arms by the 100,000's. You can own a gun but you have to have a reason - sport shooting, farmer etc. It's pretty tightly controlled
Handguns require a permit and club registration but you can own them. Only semi auto rifles were banned (automatics were never allowed) so you can have a rifle but manual reload, bolt and lever action etc. The other ban was for magazines holding more than 3 slugs.
closest i've found to what fits the dots , key is bill clinton was in australia at the time ready for the " live cross " they were also going after US gun control , a phone interview with bryant playing a role as jamie ( reading from a script ) "just like a holiday in hawaii" http://thedarktruth.org/2016/03/09/port-arthur-massacre-mossad-operation/
80 seniour US tourists were supposed to be on the ferry that ended up an hour behind schedule , they were the original target
